Iver Johnson Arms 1911A138CHRWP 38 5" 9-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol

The Iver Johnson Arms 1911A138CHRWP 38 5" 9-Round Stainless 1911 Pistol combines classic 1911 ergonomics with modern manufacturing standards, making it an excellent choice for competitive shooters, law enforcement training, and civilian self-defense. Built on the proven 1911 platform, this model delivers the reliability that generations of operators have trusted in duty and tactical environments.

The 38 Super cartridge offers a flat trajectory and capacity advantage, particularly valued in IPSC and USPSA competition where magazine-fed pistols demand both speed and accuracy. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, this 1911 resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance compared to blued or parkerized finishes—critical in high-humidity or saltwater environments. The 5-inch barrel provides the optimal balance between sight radius for accuracy and overall package size for concealment or belt carry.

At 4.13 pounds unloaded, the pistol sits comfortably in appendix, strong-side, or cross-draw positions without inducing fatigue during extended training or duty rotations. The 9-round magazine capacity allows competitive shooters to efficiently manage their rounds during competitions while maintaining the shallow profile that 1911 platforms are known for. This model benefits shooters who have invested in 1911-pattern holsters, magazines, and aftermarket components.
